    lckrn2pa replied to GusM's topic in General Nursing

    lckrn2pa replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    lckrn2pa replied to lovingbnaRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Patient rights v. Clinical instructor?

    lckrn2pa replied to studentnurse0383's topic in General Nursing

    It's a hospital not a prison, you can't demand a patient to do anything and your instructor is foolish in their belief. Let the instructor go in and force the patient to bath that way when the police...

  16. Forced to stay at work or abandonment?

    lckrn2pa replied to MyGranniePanties's topic in General Nursing

    lckrn2pa replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    lckrn2pa replied to chcgoblue's topic in General Nursing

    It's tough, like you I've been a nurse for 20yrs. 10yrs LPN and 10yrs RN and I burned out right after RN school. I traveled for the past 8yrs which helped a lot but even then it started to wear on me....
